Concept- When the amount of hormones delivered is too low, the condition is known as hyposecretion. This is generally caused by the presence of a disease in the body. Gull's disease is degradation of thyroid by hypothyroidism,
Grave’s disorder is an autoimmune disease.
Cushing's disease is an overdose of the steroid hormone cortisol in the blood produced by a pituitary tumour concealing adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH).
Addison’s disease is produced by the behaviour of incompetent ACTH which points to the lack of cortisol and aldosterone hormones of the adrenal cortex. Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
